I have had surgery 2 times for this problem. the first one has it's advantages but it didn't work for long and won't so I don't recommend it. it is called the sling procedure. they take a piece of the vaginal wall and make like a sling to sit the bladder in. one side of mine didn't hold up. so I had to go back and they did one called MMK. that is where they stitch the bladder to the pelvic bone. man that one works! I had it done in late 99 and no issues since that time. so if you are offered an option try that one. the recovery is longer but it works. good luck!
